Rowley Birkin QC Posted Sunday at 17:28 Posted Sunday at 17:28 (edited) Giving up playing (at least live) so am offloading the vast majority of my gear. This a a very nice GB Rumour which I’m reluctantly selling, but I’m just not using it enough. Bought from BassBros a few years ago so have used their images as they show it better than mine could! Fitted with blue side & front led’s Would prefer collection for this, but I do have a hard case and box to shop it in, but I would want to make sure that the shipping costs included insurance up to its full value, so it wouldn’t be cheap. Any questions just ask. Colour – Natural Body Finish – Gloss Body Wood – Ash w/ Quilted Maple Top Neck Finish – Gloss Neck Wood – Flame Maple / Mahogany Fretboard – Birdseye Maple Frets – 26 Scale Length – 34’ Weight – 9lbs4oz/4.2kgs Electronics – Active 3 Band Pickups – GB Edited Tuesday at 17:19 by Rowley Birkin QC 19 Quote
TheGreek Posted Sunday at 18:40 Posted Sunday at 18:40 Beautiful...you'll be sorry... I sold my 4 string during one of my downsizing episodes...didn't work...just spent the money on more gear and lost one of the best basses I'd ever owned... If you're interested in a trade.. 1 Quote
Rowley Birkin QC Posted Sunday at 19:52 Author Posted Sunday at 19:52 Cheers TheGreek, this is one of the best basses I’ve owned, but I’ve stopped getting emotionally attached to them anymore. It’s a lovely thing, but not what I need anymore. Not really looking for trades as I’m “downsizing” Quote
FunkyDude Posted Monday at 19:27 Posted Monday at 19:27 This is one beautiful custom bass. Hope it goes to a caring new owner soon. Good luck! 1 Quote

roger Posted Tuesday at 17:37 Posted Tuesday at 17:37 I’ve lusted after a Rumour 4 for a while but they just don’t seem to come up🫤 that’s a lovely looking bass GLWTS (I’ll stop short of saying “this won’t hang around for long” as nothing seems to be moving)🤷♂️ Quote
Rowley Birkin QC Posted Tuesday at 17:57 Author Posted Tuesday at 17:57 Cheers @roger, it is a lovely thing. I’m in no rush to sell it, and it’s unlikely to go down in value……..someone’s out there looking for one! Quote
roger Posted Tuesday at 18:04 Posted Tuesday at 18:04 Goodfellow looks right up there with the best, in what world is a Wal worth £7k plus with basses like this? (Of course……IMHO🤣🤷♂️) 3 Quote
Rowley Birkin QC Posted Tuesday at 18:08 Author Posted Tuesday at 18:08 Indeed…….is it £5k better??? Quote

I've owned two Wal basses but they did not compare to the GB Rumour 4 I had for playability, aesthetics or tone... Yes, Wal basses have that distinctive "Wal tone" but if you don't want that specifically I'd recommend a Rumour all day long. Anybody have a spare kidney I can offer Rowley in exchange?? 1 Quote

Now you mention it…anybody have a spare Rumour 4?!?!?! Quote
gadget Posted Tuesday at 19:26 Posted Tuesday at 19:26 I've owned a Rumour 5 and serial 001 original Nightingale 5 (the first Rumour body shaped bass built by Bernie), and I regretted parting with both all those years back, but such is life! Just wish I had some pics of them still! If I had the cash now, I'd have already bought this, sadly I am just not in a position to get this! Guess I'll have to try sell some hifi gear of something? Will be watching this one! I'd say good luck with the sale, but I want it too much! Cheers G! Quote

I don't understand why Wal basses are sooooooooooo heavy! 🤫 Quote
